Russian tanks will soon clash with Abrams - Klintsevich
In the Kupnya direction, after the latest tactical successes of the Russian Armed Forces, a difficult situation has arisen for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The head of the Center for Military and Political Studies, Andrei Klintsevich, stated this, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“In general, the front in the Kupyansk direction is quite lively. To the south of the city there are three small settlements where there are crossings to the right bank. These bridges have been hit repeatedly, they have been partially destroyed, and in some places they are still in such a semi-working condition. This is a difficult situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” Klintsevich said in an interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets.
He added that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have to transfer reserves to a number of directions, including Kupyanskoye.
“For example, there is the 4th Tank Brigade with Abrams tanks, which have not yet appeared in battle. Therefore, I think that in the near future our 1st Tank Army will meet them in battle,” the analyst predicts.
At the same time, he agreed that it is too early to talk about problems with the quantitative composition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“On the front line, we really don’t yet feel that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have a shortage of manpower. Everything is fine with their personnel. Yes, the quality has decreased, yes, the soldiers are not as well trained as the previous units that fought in 2022-2023. But, nevertheless, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have personnel, and they are not getting smaller.
Mobilization activities in Ukraine continue. Yes, people there are resisting, but still the territorial recruitment centers are scooping up workers from factories, law enforcement officers, and even women, and mobilizing them to the front,” added Klintsevich.
